<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was fortune enough to be sent there =
twice, when
the Kimball dealership was dropped by one retailer and picked up by =
their
competitor. The content of the classes changed enough to make it =
worth
while. The 2nd trip included Bosendorfer and how Kimball was =
"incorproating some
of the things from them. They even had a "Kimballdorfer" there--a =
Bose
with a laminated board. R&R was doing soundboard research =
with
it. The demo that used the piano was fun. (I'll tell it for a =
beer at
the National in Chicago.) What a place for a seminar! Elegance is =
an
understatement. Dinner jackets required for evening dining. ( A bottle =
of wine
is another fond memory.) Kimball did a lot to put the school on, and =
Roger was a
major part of that effort. Thank you, Sir. Your efforts were =
greatly
appreciated!</FONT></DIV>
